Activists in cites nationwide marked National Stop Police Brutality Day, this past weekend, including Newark, New Jersey’s People’s Organization for Progress (POP). POP chairman Larry Hamm noted that the FBI come up with a new designation for Black political activists.” We’ve had a rise in activities among white supremacist and racist hate groups,” said Hamm. “What the FBI is trying to do is take the spotlight off these groups and put it on groups they call ‘Black Identity Extremists,’ which are actually fighting to protect the interests of the Black community.”
